Where to Go for a Snow-White Smile

Where to Go for a Snow-White Smile

Modern dentistry will help you preserve your beautiful smile

Dental tours are organized to many countries. Most often these are Switzerland and Israel, traditionally known for the high quality of their medicine, as well as Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, and some other states. Russia appeared on this list relatively recently, but even today it is becoming obvious that the number of foreigners and Russian emigrants coming to our country to treat their teeth is increasing every year. What are the reasons for the growing popularity of domestic dental services? This will be discussed in our article.

The standard of living in most Western countries is still higher than in Russia. This undoubted advantage, when it comes to dental treatment and prosthetics, turns into a disadvantage: dental services in private clinics in Europe and Israel are very expensive. It's a different story in Russia, where, compared to more developed countries, even the most labor-intensive implant-supported prosthetics are nearly free.

Moreover, the cost of living itself in Russia is lower than in many other countries. Compared to Europe, everything is cheaper here: food, transport, hotel accommodation, travel, and entertainment. This means that, having come to treat their teeth in our country, an average foreign citizen will spend less money than if they had traveled to London or Tel Aviv for the same period.

At the same time, in terms of quality, dental services in Russia are gradually catching up with those provided abroad. Moreover, sometimes Russian dentists surpass their foreign colleagues in skill. It sometimes happens that at follow-up appointments already in the patient's home country, the doctors themselves are surprised at how well the treatment was performed.

Finally, a significant argument in favor of such a tour for former citizens of Russia or Ukraine is the absence of a language barrier. Even with a good command of a foreign language, a person feels calmer when the attending physician, while performing treatment or prosthetics, speaks their native language. And psychological comfort is one of the main components of success for any procedures, especially medical ones.

Moreover, for any emigrant, a trip to Russia is an extra opportunity to meet with friends and relatives remaining in their homeland. And it is not surprising that many former compatriots eagerly seize the opportunity to combine business with pleasure.
